The latest issue of Imbibe arrived in my mailbox today and the cover story is a doozy: "The 100 Best Places to Drink Beer in America."
The bars and restaurants are divided equally into 10 different categories and the Twin Cities get some love in three of them:
Best Draught Selection (Reader Pick): The Muddy Pig
Best Irish-style Pub: The Local
Best Gastropubs: The Happy Gnome
Mark Vanwie and Paul Schatz, owners of both The Muddy Pig and The Happy Gnome, are probably feeling pretty darn good today.
i want to UGH all over the local. but i do love the muddy pig, for all of the two times i've made the venture.

Now I'm all nostalgic for the days when I lived on Selby and could walk to The Muddy and The Gnome.

FYI
Mark Van Wie and Paul Schatz are no longer affiliated with the Happy Gnome.

Whoops, then that's a might big misprint on behalf of Imbibe.
